The importance of knowing unpaved roads depends how far inland from the coast

Well street-directory.com.au which just shows scanned images of paper maps does 
redish orange dashed lines

http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_new/mapsearch.cgi?star=5&heading=&x=149.26777035609842&y=-23.422484849758355&level=4&StateID=4

The importance of the road is indicated by the thickness of the lines. Although 
they don't accurately depict the Fitzroy Development road.
